VEEV Stock: No Overhead Resistance

Veeva Systems Inc (NYSE:VEEV) stock has been playing out just as expected. These expectations were laid out in a publication on April 11, titled "With No Resistance in Sight, Veeva Stock Is Set to Appreciate." Just as the title describes, I had reason to believe, based on the method of investment analysis I employ, that VEEV stock was set to appreciate.At the time of that previous publication, this investment was trading at $51.52. It is currently trading at $66.82. This represents an impressive return of 29.69% in a matter of seven weeks, and the good news is that I happen to believe that higher prices are still likely.Before I continue, it is worth noting that my views on Veeva stock have been generated by analyzing the company's stock chart. This method of investment analysis is known as technical analysis, and it is predicated on using historical price and volume data to forecast the stock price's future direction.This may seem far-fetched, but I assure you it is not. This method provides a great deal of value, and I have had great success by applying this method to my trading strategies. I am so enamored by this method that I have spent nearly two decades studying and applying this method of analysis.The following Veeva stock chart illustrates the bullish indications that supported my bullish view on this investment.Chart courtesy of StockCharts.comIn my April publication on VEEV stock, I outlined the fact that this stock had created a bullish trend that was effectively captured by using a simple ascending channel.

Bottom Line on Veeva Stock

VEEV stock has performed extremely well since my last publication, and there is little to suggest that this type of performance is going to end any time soon. My bullish views on Veeva stock are based on the company's price chart, and therefore, my views are contingent on any new indications that are generated.

Veeva Stock Has Begun Its Accelerated Move to the Upside

The following Veeva stock chart illustrates the bullish indications that supported my bullish view on this investment.

In my April publication on VEEV stock, I outlined the fact that this stock had created a bullish trend that was effectively captured by using a simple ascending channel. An ascending channel contains two trend lines that represent lower support and upper resistance. I outlined the fact that this bullish trend was sustainable as long as the stock prices remained confined to the channel.

My view on this investment was reinforced by the moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) indicator located in the lower panel of the price chart above. MACD is an indicator that uses signal-line crossings to distinguish between bullish and bearish momentum.

A bullish indication was generated in March of this year, which served to suggest that bullish momentum is governing the predominant direction that Veeva shares are trading in. This indicator creates an environment where the path of least resistance is tilted toward a higher stock price.

In May, the stock price exited this channel by breaking above resistance, implying that this orderly trend is now accelerating to the upside. The timing of this acceleration is not a mere coincidence, as the following Veeva stock chart will help illustrate.
